I have that bass and it is also one of my favs. One of the best bang for the bucks there is. You got yours on a trade you lucky dog. Which color did you get the natural, green, or red? The zero fret just makes your open notes sound similar to your fretted notes. Nice touch on a bass that normally costs anywhere from 700 to 850 dollars brand new. They are not talked about a lot here on TB because I think people think they are a Cort and they are cheap. I think this bass leans more to the Elrick side than the Cort side.
